Hi all,

Here is a link to a petition taken from another SCI forum where a member has posted a thread to try and unite all the voices in SCI, inorder to petition extra funding into SCI research from the US Government. I for one have signed the petition as I think it can't do any harm, anything is worth a try to bolster atttempts into a cure for SCI or at least raise more awareness.

Cheers

Hi Topper,

Has the above petition site replaced the one I posted originally? Either way I'll sign the new one and tell friends and family about it. Bring forth the revolution!
